I was told the main purpose of the new frame design was/is to attract more of the riding public. I didn't ask if that implied the women or the short guys. Not sure if it's lower in the seat or narrower or both......or just plain propoganda. :nixweiss:
Did they have the CVO Road Glide there? That would definately be my first choice for a demo ride.
My friend Chris has a friend at York.
He was laughing when he told my friend this one.
He stated that some of the guys think its funny that we all think the frame was redesigned for handling. :oops:
From what Chris tells me the redesign was for 3 main reasons, first to help with assembly line production, things will be done faster now with the need for less people.
(something to do with where and how they mate the trans and motor.)
Second, to accommodate the trike mods.
3rd For the larger tire/rim.
He tells me that if it handles better thats fine, but not why the frame was redesigned. :'(
Thought that was neat, MOCO makes changes to speed up production and they sell it as better bike. >:(
Just wanted to share that bit of info with every one, it actually pissed me off a bit.

Now aint that some chit
